Veteran Journalist Joins Enterprise Canada

Enterprise Canada announced today that Peter Downs, an award-winning reporter at the St. Catharines Standard, has joined the public affairs firm and will be working out of their Niagara office.

Peter brings 20 years of journalism experience to Enterprise Canada, including the last 12 years in Niagara. Peter spent most of his time at the Standard covering the health beat, where he earned the respect and co-operation of health officials across the region and at Queen’s Park for his understanding and insight into complex and often contentious issues. He also played a role in every major election over the past 12 years, where he reported from the campaign trail, tracked candidates, blogged and used social media to engage voters on election night.
